Manchester United’s £31.5m offer for Patrick Dorgu accepted by Lecce

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Lecce have now accepted Manchester United’s third offer for Patrick Dorgu.

꧂We are told that Man United have agreed a deal worth around £31.5million (€37.5million).

ꦓThe initial payment is £25.1million with the rest in add-ons, and the two clubs are now just finalising the payment details and how the deal will be structured.

🧜Sources have also confirmed that Dorgu has been told that he should expect to be in England for his medical before the weekend and that he won’t be playing in Lecce’s next game on Friday.

🎃As we have previously revealed, Dorgu’s personal terms are already in place on a five-year deal.

What Manchester United fans can expect from Patrick Dorgu

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim✅ places huge importance on full-backs for his system and Dorgu has been identified as the ideal player to come in at left-back.

🧸At just 20 years of age, Dorgu has already shown that he has what it takes to impress at the highest level.

🌳He has already made 57 appearances for Lecce and has won four caps for Denmark.

🅰Dorgu is a physically imposing full-back whose pace enables him to surge up and down the left flank with ease.

♌He’s also great at dribbling past opponents and delivering pinpoint crosses, as well as reading the game well and snuffing out danger.

🅠FC Nordsjaelland technical director Alexander Riget told recently: “He gets in the box, arrives for crosses, and that is linked to his physical capacity, which has definitely developed in recent years.

🌳“But he has always been a good runner. He can cover a lot of distance and do it with high intensity.

ꦐ“When he played for Nordsjaelland, we got the reports from the trackers and he was often one of those with the best and the highest physical numbers.”

💛Riget concluded: “His progression has been very impressive. I think he will become a top professional at the highest level.”

🎃Meanwhile, analyst Ben Mattinson said on X last year that he believes Dorgu is “one of the best young profiles out there for LB” and is set to go far.

There have been comparisons between Dorgu and Destiny Udogie🧔, another brilliant young full-back who made a name for himself in Italian football.
